@OGjester ah yes you're the one with the master plan. this actually needs to happen. but each group of friends needs to have step 2 ready. which is running an independent, economic populist against the republican in that district.
9-10 people with a candidate. dismantle local dem party, and then immediately present your candidate and platform while the news is hot and you have your media coverage. otherwise, itll fizzle out and it'll simply be a uncontested republican race.
